Marcin Kącki, a journalist, reporter and book author, described his dark past in Gazeta Wyborcza, including the mistreatment of women he committed over the years. However, he did not reveal exactly what it was.
After the publication, “Newsweek” journalist Karolina Rogaska spoke. He posted on Facebook that he was One of Kaki's victims. Roman Imielski, the deputy editor-in-chief of “GW”, also issued a brief statement, where he explained that the matter is being taken “very seriously” and will be “explained” in the newspaper.
The scandal surrounding Marcin Kącki. Journalists criticize “Gazeta Wyborcza”.
Ketsky's text caused a scandal and makes extensive comments on social media, as well as from the journalistic community.
“In 2006, this text by Katzki destroyed Leper and Samoobrona. In 2024, Katzki destroyed himself and probably several women… Question: Did those at Gazeta Vibortsa not know what was going on? Did the mainstream moralists tolerate pathology?” – asks Slavomir Jastrzebowski, owner of Salon24.pl website.
“GW” journalist: this text should not be on our pages
“Gazeta Wyborcza” journalist Wojciech Chuchnowski issued a statement in which he noted that Katzki's text should not appear in “GW”. “Not in the form given by the author. The person responsible for the publication had an editorial obligation to verify the facts provided by Markin, to pay attention to inadequacies, distortions and omission of key elements,” Chuchnovsky believes.
“Katski's text is brilliantly written. Kaki beautifully wrote how he changed and masturbated in front of a young journalist, despite his horror and resistance,” says Patrick Slowik of Wirtualna Polska.
“If someone thinks they can hurt women for years, but then write nicely about it, apologize because 'lots of guys are like that', go to therapy, and it's time for CS, then they have bigger problems than they think. ” – writes “Wprost” journalist Marcin Makovsky.
“The question is whether the GW editorial team now regrets publishing Katzki's text – probably a confession,” wonders Lukasz Zboralski, a journalist at Do Rzeczy.
“A classic preventive measure”, “How many of these people are hugged by the main moralist Michnik on Cherska Street?”
“So this Keck text is a classic move to make the bully and the bully into a heroic victim (of life, racket, circumstances or whatever),” said a user who goes by the pseudonym “Cholewa combata”.
“How many such kaczyk will the pope of Polish democracy, the chief moralist Adam Michnik, hug on Czerska Street? Under the darkest arch-democratic lamp?” – asks Marcin Palad, a political sociologist.
